PRAYING FOR FAMILY, FRIENDS, CHURCH & NATION
Trust Christ’s sacrifice for all sin and forgiveness (1Jn 2:1,2). #ChristOurAdvocate
MORNING WATCH NOTES:
The aged apostle John addresses his readers fondly, as a loving father would to his children. Of course his desire is that they not sin. What father would not wish that for his children? But he knows also that no one is immune to sin.
So, John wants his readers to know that when sin does enter into a life, there is hope. Jesus Christ advocates for us based on his death sacrifice for sin. His defense never rests. Our God hears his plea and forgives all sin based on Christ’s righteousness in us (1Co 1:30; 2Co 5:21). Lord, I may trust my eternal counselor who is my advocate with God.
The Prayer Sentry 
How true! our Defender never slumber nor sleeps. “but because Jesus lives forever, He has a permanent priesthood. Therefore He is able to save completely those who come to God through Him, because He always lives to intercede for them.” (Hebrews 7:24-25) How grateful I am to have Jesus as the One advocating on my behalf to God. He is the perfect, all wise, all merciful Defender of my soul. Thanks be to God for providing the perfect Lamb and the perfect Defender! http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com
